Construction rostering challenges we solve

Multiple sites, moving crews, weather delays, and paper timesheets. Here's how RosterMate keeps every project staffed.

Crews Across Multiple Sites

Roster each site separately and view them all in one place. Move workers between sites as project phases change, and everyone sees exactly where they're working in the app.

Proof of Attendance

GPS geofenced clock-in (accurate to 50-100 metres) means a worker can only clock in when they're actually on site. No more guessing whether the timesheet matches reality.

Weather & Delay Reshuffles

Rain day or a materials hold-up? Adjust shifts with drag-and-drop and the whole crew is notified by push notification instantly — no phone-around required.

Health & Safety Paperwork

Replace paper inductions, pre-start checklists, and hazard reports with digital forms workers complete on their phones. Build forms in minutes with the AI form builder.

Mixed Crews & Casuals

Full-timers, casuals, and labour-hire all in one roster. Staff keep their availability up to date in the app, so you always know who you can call on.

Paper Timesheets & Payroll

Clock records match to rostered shifts automatically. Approve timesheets, then export to Xero, Crystal, PayHero, Smartly, or Excel — or pay staff and file with IRD directly.

Construction rostering FAQs

Common questions from builders and site managers across New Zealand.

Yes. Add each site as a location or area in RosterMate and build rosters per site. View every site together or filter to one, and move workers between sites as project phases change. Staff see exactly which site they're rostered to in the mobile app.
Workers clock in from the RosterMate mobile app with GPS geofencing accurate to 50-100 metres, so a clock-in only counts when they're physically at the site. For fixed yards or site offices you can also run a tablet kiosk with PIN codes that keeps working during internet outages and syncs automatically.
Yes. Rain day? Adjust or remove shifts with drag-and-drop and staff are notified instantly by push notification. When you need extra hands at short notice, send a shift offer to available workers — the first to accept gets the shift and the roster updates automatically.
Yes. RosterMate includes a digital forms builder (with AI assistance) you can use for site inductions, pre-start checklists, hazard reports, and incident forms. Workers complete them on their phones and managers track submissions in one place.
Clock-in and clock-out records are matched to rostered shifts automatically, with an AI timesheet assistant to resolve discrepancies. Approved hours export to Xero, Crystal Payroll, PayHero, Smartly, or Excel — or pay staff and file payday information directly with IRD from RosterMate.
RosterMate costs a flat $8 NZD per employee per month with every feature included — scheduling, GPS time tracking, forms, leave, messaging, and payroll export. There's a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.
